Q:

How to sell a snake and cage
|
|
Due to events that have caused my life to become rather complicated, I am forced to offer Anubis up for sale.
My husband and I have been trying to get him into the states, however it now seems that it would be much easier for me to go down to Australia, which means that I cannot keep Anubis. I will be able to take my cat with me, but Australia does not allow for the importation of snakes.
This not only means that he will be for sale, but so will his cage and thermometer. I'm trying to decide what is the best way to offer these up as the cage is in excellent shape. What a good price would be for both, and how much seperately.
I could use any advice you're all willing to give me. I have until May, if I need to rehome him without selling then that's what's needed, but I would prefer to sell him to a responsible snake owner rather then giving him away to someone I may/may not be able to trust.
Thanks everyone,
Trish~

Well the lower the price the faster and easier it is to find a home, if money isn't an issue. Finding a good keeper comes down to simply talking to the interested person. Ask questions, have them tell you the husbandry practices, and you can always fill in the information they don't have. Being sure that the new keeper will be taking proper care of Anubis 3 years+ down the road is the tricky part.

Hmm, wouldn't it be rather odd to message them and say: Hey want to buy a snake? :/

Not at all! Just message them explaining the situation. That's why we're here! I'm not saying you'll get any hits but it's another route to take and you'll know Anubis will be taken care of.

Anyone else have any ideas? I'm still trying to figure out what a good price is for the whole kit and caboodle.

Really just depends on how much work you want to put into it. You're options are Fauna Classifieds, Craigslist, Ebay Classifieds, and of course here. Heck you could even see about offering take him to a local show since you have until May, if you know anyone who will have a table.
I personally never take cages when I get animals. But looking on an ad site for a similar setups and seeing what they cost will give you a figure rather then putting OBO (or Best offer). Puruse the ads on those sites as a lot of them have Wanted Ads. Especially with christmas around the corner you could find someone looking for an addition to their collection.
